Yes, the maths test itself is printed on paper and you get a pen, so you can do "workings out" on the paper itself.

Simply filling in the usual line of 'hard working, team orientated, career focused' etc etc etc wont exactly show that you know what youre talking about, lets face it, answers like that are given as obvious. Really think hard about how you could contribute and what qualities you have that you could bring to the working environment. Questions like this one arent simply a 'right or wrong' answer, its more of what do you think is important and CTC deciding if youre on the right track.
As I have said in the past, the selection isnt giving them the right answers and getting a pat on the head, its showing CTC who you are and what you can do and what attitude you have towards the job and them assessing you on it.
As Pazu888 and Streety said, its basically very much a think for yourself excersize, dont take the shortcut of trying to find out what the desired answers are and spitting them out onto your own application.
Good luck

Just completed the four questions bit of the cadet application. What other documentation do CTC require to be faxed to them along with the completed application, if any?

Resit for Phase 2
Hi guys,
Unfortunately I failed one section of the PILAPT tests in Phase 2 of my application back in January, and now luckily CTC have asked if I would like to resit the PILAPT tests. Now of course I want to be a pilot and I am jumping at the chance to retake the test and hopefully pass however I am slightly concerned as to whether this is just a way for CTC to make money and then fail me again at this stage or further down the line.
I am more than likely to go for as its what I want to do but I am just interested to see if anyone else has been or is in the same situation as me and are considering trying again, and if so does anyone know any statistics of people making it on to the course after failing at phase 2 first time round?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Not sure on the statistics but i know people have done it. I'm just worried i make it through that stage, there's still a couple of more stages! However, i'm hoping to be invited to retry in september.
Does anybody know of anything you can do/purchase to practice multitasking?
